Moganshan Naked Retreat

Tegin A'le sünnipäevaks üllatuse ning viisin ta nädalavahetuseks Naked Retreat kuurortisse Moganshanis.

December Sunsets

As the seasons change, the sunsets in Shanghai become even more vivid and memorable.

Facebook HQ Warsaw

Last week I had a rather spontaneous visit to the Facebook HQ in Warsaw for an innovation workshop. 

The whole news about the trip was rather last minute for me (2.5 hours before plane departure), but I guess I can learn to appreciate how tiny Tallinn is in situations like these and I made it on time without breaking a sweat.

Kodak Colorplus

I always go for Fujifilm - not sure why, a random preference I stuck to.

This one time, I saw some Kodak Colorplus on discount at a local photostore, so just grabbed a few rolls without giving it  further thought. I'm super pleased with the results and the surprising graininess of the film. This basically inspired me to try out other film options - black and white sounds like something I would need to test out as well.

Club Tropicana

Last weekend, my Lithuanian friend Vee paid me a visit in Tallinn!

So backstory - we first met in Sønderborg as we both began studying Chinese, but then our life parted, she lived in Indonesia and London, while I divided my life between Denmark and Shanghai. 

Eventually, shortly after I moved to Beijing for my Master studies, she also moved there for work. Within these two years, we've gone through loads of Beijing adventures and it's just amazing and rare to find people that you can connect with after all these years.

Anyways - we did a bunch of stuff. Very touristy. I felt like I'm on a trip myself at one point. 

Brunch at Cafe August

All vegan eats and treats at Cafe August! Banana pancakes with almond whip aaaand chocolate-black bean brownie with peanut butter ice cream. To die for!

Fairytale vibes

F-Hoone & Miljardid

Mäletan, kuidas novembri keskpaigas, veel Pekingis, sirvisin Apple Music uue muusika rubriiki ja mu pilku köitis...

Beauty takeaways from Asia

Nagu näha, blogitemaatika pole 100% paigas ning kirjutan kõigest sellest, mis pähe tuleb. Valdavalt jagan pilte elust ja olust võõrsil, kuid tuli mõte kirjutada ka pisut sellest, mida Hiinas elades õppisin ja üleüldiselt, kuidas Aasia mõjusfäär on mind ehk pisut... muutnud?

Seega, käesolevas postituses tuleb juttu aasiapärasest näohooldusest, - kodustes tingimustes - ja põhilistest toodetest, mida nüüd kasutan ja väga soovitan. Suur osa on muide Korea päritolu, mitte Hiina 😉 Loe edasi, miks!

Taustinfo: Elasin vahelduva eduga Hiinas ühtekokku 3,5 aastat ning ei saa märkimata jätta, et Lõuna-Korea mõju Hiina nooremale generatsioonile on üha suurenemas - läbi k-drama ja popmuusika on korealaste trendid jõudnud ka hiinlaste ilurituaalidesse ning mõjutanud ka seda, kuidas hiinlased end meigivad ja riietuvad (ja mida söövad, sest kimchi, bibimbap, korean barbecue ja kõik muu sealt pärinev on Hiina suurlinnades pea igal nurgal saadaval).

Healthy Brekkie / Quick Thoughts

Rainbow sojajogurt, maitsestamata tofu põhjaks ning kakaopulbriga seemnesegu

Blogis on valitsenud pikemat aega vaikus, seega - first things first, head uut aastat!

Mul on draft'is üks põnevam postitus Aasia näohoolduse kohta ja üldiselt mõtteid, mida selle blogiga ette võtta või mida postitada (hmm, ehk näiteks ka oma uusaasta lubadustest?)... südametunnistus ikka ei luba oma "pesa" niimoodi hüljata! 

So here's a reminder - I'm still here!

Pildid pühapäevast, mis algas ekstra ägedalt jooga ja powerwalk'iga, millele järgnes mõnus (vege) hommikusöök, kohv ja posu youtube'i videoid. 

Festive Vibes in Tallinn

Who's ready to celebrate her first Christmas at home after 6 years of being away?

Me me me! 🙋🏼‍♀️

It's gonna be a good one and gonna be full on Christmas.

The Jing / Last of '17

Some random shots from all around the Central Business District, last of Beijing for 2017... and perhaps for longer?

Who knows. 

Spring Fatigue

We've all heard about it and some of us have experienced it - spring fatigue. 

Big city, bigger dreams

the biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.

Beijing and epic sunsets

I'm back in da Jing since Wednesday! Let me just say, we've been blessed with such great weather these few days, the sunsets were absolutely epic from our office windows!

Pääsküla bog

One of the things I really wanted to see back at home was snow...

Tabasalu nature trail

Have you ever heard of leonbergers?

Winter mornings in Tallinn

When the jetlag makes you wake up at 4:30 am and you witness the coolest sunrises.

Thing with Tallinn is...

... that this city is absolutely gorgeous!

See you in a bit, China!

These views, wow
